templates

These two techniques seem to perform the same basic function, in which cases would i need to use a template modification over a hook if the desired hook is present? also performance wise which one is better?

Is it possible to get a template caller name when using search_result templates?
For example we have member_recent_content that calls search_result_*content type*. Can we use some variable in search_result_... to determine who called it? So for example in member_view we have one display of...

Right now ACP template editor in XenForo doesn't fully utilize all available window height, it only has a small window of 325 pixels height and 900 pixels width. You can extend it of course manually, but repeating this operation over and over again personally drives me crazy. Of course you can...

Right now, when we install an add-on, it is tedious to find the css, templates, phrases, files, classes connected with the add-on and not so savvy are at a mercy of add-on owner to tell us which files/classes/templates/phrases are where? I think, we can do much better than this, we should be...

In XF 1.x.x we have built-in functions to do some operations with properties you'd expect only to be in CSS templates. For example: {xen:helper rgba ''}. It converts a color to an RGBA format. You can invoke these functions in any template.
With XF 2 we get LESS, which has a lot of similar...

Hello,
INTRO: XenForo has a clickable "breadcrumb path" at the top of all pages, forums, etc.
(ex: Home > Category > Category > Forum)
QUESTION: Is there anyway to remove just the link in the 1st position in the breadcrumb path? This would be the position for "Home" in the example path...

Is there any recommended route to achieve the editing of templates in a code editor? Don't get me wrong, the Admin CP code editor is nice for quick edits but for any serious undertaking it really hampers productivity.
I see in one of Kier's videos he has templates open in Dreamweaver and I...

Hi, I am trying to understand templates in XF and I am not understanding. I thought templates where like what you see in Theme Forest (link) or HTML5Up (link). When I look at XF templates, they are nothing like those other "templates." So, I guess that means XF templates are a different...

This product reads XenForo cookies into template params (session, session_admin and user excluded). This avoids the need to create new tables or modify existing ones to store user options in add-on products and makes it possible to use them when templates are rendered without having to extend...

In short: what is the procedure for reinstalling templates without harming the content in the database?
Background:
I did some elaborate rearranging of templates for the top part of the screen, to make what amounts to minor changes in appearance. I got the layout I wanted, but unfortunately...

This seems to only be an issue on XenForo 1.5.
When you're editing templates and switch styles because you want to edit that same template on another style, the Templates page doesn't scroll to the correct location.
La la la, I'm editing a template:
However, now I want to edit it on the...

Hi,
I just installed XFRM (1.2.0 Beta 1) - it was not installed (well, it had been in the past, but I got rid of the license so uninstalled it).
Once I'd installed it, I got a load of outdated templates:
If I use the automatic merge all button, nothing happens (no errors or anything - is...

Since we now have proper tags in the new 1.5 version I was looking into if it is possible to make somekind of template like this: Post List
Basically a stackoverflow kind of system on top of Xenforo I want.
I have been reading the documentation (the once I could find) but I am still not very...

This is likely as designed, but I feel as if a warning could be useful, telling you that your changes will revert your style property changes if you do not go out of and back into the template.
Scenario: You call style properties for custom CSS in EXTRA.css (or any CSS template), such as...

This add-on adds the ability to view any template by going to /templates/name_of_template from your forum.
This could be useful if you are creating a theme, add-on or similar, or just want to have a play around with template syntax.
It is not recommended to use this add-on on a production site...

Just a thought whether it would be beneficial to include a revert icon/ revert function on the outdated templates page. Preferably to the far right? See screenshot which explains it better than I can. :D
